Stainless Steel Crowns have been indicated for the restoration of primary and permanent teeth with caries, cervical decalcification, and/or developmental defects (eg, hypoplasia, hypocalcification), when failure of other available restorative materials is likely (eg, interproximal caries extending beyond line angles, patients with bruxism), following pulpotomy or pulpectomy, for re-storing a primary tooth that is to be used as an abutment for a space maintainer, or for the intermediate restoration of frac-tured teeth. Marginal adaptation of SSCs involves appropriate crown size selection, trimming the crown form to achieve proper length, crimping crown edges to proximate the prepared tooth, and finishing and polishing the crown form. This article about stainless steel crown restoration focuses on the procedure of adapting, finishing, and polishing crown margins.
